didn't think it was entirely incongrous. In the second movie, Lance as
Bishop was the synth. In the third movie, he shows up as Weyland
leading the recovery crew. If the Weyland half of Weyland-Utani were
to be kept in the family, it would make sense that his great-something
grandfather was the founder and Lance playing that progenitor is
pretty low on the suspension of disbelief in the movie.
Considering the movie wasn't half as bad as I expected it to be, I
enjoyed it plenty.
